Endodontics
One common dental operation used to save teeth damaged by trauma, infection, or decay is a root canal. The goals of root canal therapy is to save the normal tooth, stop the infection from spreading, and eradicate bacteria from the diseased root canal. Following the removal of the inflammatory or infected pulp, the inside of the tooth is meticulously cleansed, disinfected, filled, and sealed. The need for endodontic therapy, sometimes referred to as root canal therapy, arises when the pulp of your tooth becomes infected or inflamed. A tooth crack, chip, extensive decay, or multiple dental operations could be the source of the inflammation or infection.
An endodontically treated tooth can keep functioning correctly for many years with the right upkeep. The tooth pulp may get infected as a result of decay. Very tiny devices are utilized to clean and sculpt the root canal areas once a tiny opening has been made. To guarantee full root canal sealing, the cleansed gaps are filled with a biocompatible substance and specialty cement. The diseased pulp and nerve tissue inside the tooth are removed during a root canal, and a special filling material is used in their place. This stops more infection and preserves the healthy tooth structure that is still present. o
